Pacific vs. Hawaii Prediction

I’m on Pacific here. I get the case to be made for Hawaii at home, but the Tigers have been really solid out of the gate and while Hawaii has a solid edge at home, the Tigers can keep this one close and give themselves a shot to win this one outright. Give me the Tigers and the points.
